In verse 39, he excludes himself and genuine believers from this category.' "Sin wilfully": The Greek term carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual. The sin is rejecting Christ deliberately. These are not isolated acts. "Knowledge": The Greek term denotes specific knowledge, not general spiritual knowledge (6:4; 1 Tim. 2:4). Though the knowledge was not defective or incomplete, the application of the knowledge was certainly flawed. Judas Iscariot is a good example of a disciple who had no lack of knowledge, but lacked faith and became the arch-apostate. "No more": See note on 6:6. The apostate is beyond salvation because he has rejected the only sacrifice that can cleanse him from sin and bring him into God's presence. To turn away from that sacrifice leaves him with no saving alternative. This is parallel to Matt. 12:31. 2 Peter 2:20-21 "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning." "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." We see from this, the seriousness of returning to a sinful way of life, after we have walked in full knowledge of God. When Jesus saved us, we were adopted into the family of God. To turn away from that would be like Esau not regarding his birthright. Our birthright into the family of God provided through Jesus Christ should be our most valued possession. This is probably not speaking of slipping and unknowingly sinning, this is speaking of willfully going back into a sinful way of life. God is a loving God and a forgiving God. He just wants us to love Him enough that it will not be the desire of our heart to sin. A lot of us know the knowledge but rejected it using the word by the grace to live our sinful life style 查看 Facebook 上的貼文 · 編輯電郵通知設定 · 回覆此電子郵件發表回應。
